Anthony Davis to Lakers update

Anthony Davis may want to join the Los Angeles Lakers because of his business relationship with LeBron James, ESPN pundit Stephen A Smith reckons.

“If you’re Anthony Davis, and you’re signed with Rich Paul, the same guy as LeBron James, and you’re presumably heading to LA, if the Pelicans will trade you, you might want to be in the LA market,” Smith revealed.

“If you’re Anthony Davis, you might want to play with LeBron. But, then again, you might not.

“These are the kinds of problems you have to deal with if you’re the Los Angeles Lakers.”

Kawhi Leonard free agency hint

Kawhi Leonard is at home with the Toronto Raptors despite rumours linking him with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers ahead of his big free agency decision next summer, his team-mate Danny Green claims.

He told First Take on ESPN: “To me, he appears very comfortable and very happy. He likes the city. It’s not the San Diego weather but he’s enjoying [it], the fans are amazing here.

“I don’t want to get people too up or too down. Whether I say it or not, people are going to get excited but I think he really feels at home.

“He really likes it here and is enjoying his time with a new team, his teammates in the locker room and the head coach Nick Nurse is allowing to do so many things more and drawing up plays for him. I think he’s pretty happy. Especially the fact that we’re winning, that helps too.”

Kevin Durant revelation

Kevin Durant has revealed he understands why stars may not want to play alongside LeBron James in Los Angeles.

The Golden State Warriors star, alongside Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard, have been linked with moves to the Lakers.

However, Durant has quashed those reports by claiming the environment surrounding James is toxic.

“So much hype comes from being around LeBron from other people,” Durant said.
